Professional History

Résumé

Engineer, Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum (HOK), Architects, Saint Louis, MO, three years. At HOK, he worked "...with architects on integrated, sustainable designs for a variety of institutional buildings."

Project Engineer, Tipping Mar + Associates, Berkeley, CA, 2005-2011; Project Manager, Tipping Mar + Associates, Berkeley, CA, 2011-2014;

Partner, Tipping Structural Engineers, Berkeley, CA, 2014- . The Tipping Structural Engineers web site stated of Steyer's work history in 2017: "As the lead engineer for several projects, Marc was able to effectively incorporate Tipping’s innovative, cost effective use of vertically post-tensioned concrete walls for seismic resistance and has co-authored articles in Concrete Internationaland the Post-Tensioning Institute Journal on these breakthroughs. One of Marc’s first projects at Tipping was the award-winning seismic retrofit of 2850 Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. In upgrading the strength and ductility of this six-story, nonductile concrete moment-frame building, Tipping made use of vertically post-tensioned walls, new micropile foundations and carbon fiber collectors. As well, Marc was crucial to the Zynga HQ and Square HQ conversions, both in San Francisco. Other Tipping projects in which Marc played a key role include Barneys NY, the Living Building-certified Omega Center for Sustainable Living, and Pixar Animation Studios. Marc's significant contributions to projects still in progress include the structural design of Campbell Hall, a new six-story concrete Astrophysics Department building for the University of California at Berkeley, and the new, nine-story Van Ness Medical Office Building in San Francisco, for which he is the lead engineer. Both projects, when completed, are expected to achieve LEED Gold certification." (See Tipping Structural Engineers, "Meet Tipping Structural Engineers," accessed 04/04/2017.)
